President Donald Trump has yet to concede the 2020 election, but sources close to the President are already thinking about what his next steps might be when (if?) he does. According to ABC News’ John Santucci, plans are being crafted that could lead to Trump launching his own cable news network. One that would directly compete with Fox News. "Anger at Fox/Murdoch family cannot be understated," Santucci writes. "Should he lose, Trump wants to destroy Fox — aides believe they can steal hosts [Sean] Hannity and [Tucker] Carlson." This comes after FOX News called Arizona early for Joe Biden, something...

What were they thinking? Now that millions of Fox News viewers have awakened to the network’s betrayal of their loyal viewers, what are we to think about those hosts we have let into our homes all these years? We’ve long thought that these anchors we relied upon for actual news were on the same political page as their viewers – reverence for the Constitution, law enforcement, our military, freedom, belief in American greatness, etc. While it was clear some were not all-in Trump fans, Fox viewers assumed they shared their values. So have they been faking all these years? Have...

Tucker just let his guest say Biden will take office in 10 weeks, without push back. Not even Fox prime time is worth watching.— President Elect Raheem Kassam (@RaheemKassam) November 11, 2020 He also said, they should explain calmly, when they force us to take the vaccine. When?— Leigh (@lbanducciva) November 11, 2020 Did Tucker just say he hopes they calm everyone down before forcing us to take the vaccine? A slip?— ladybug (@pmbutterfly) November 11, 2020 I just saw this and am now done with him too! Very sad!— Missy (@nebiosearch) November 11, 2020

As I’ve written the last few days, Fox News’ has fully well and decided to burn their audience to the ground (see Fox News Decides to Fully Set Themselves On Fire as Ratings Collapse). What the motivation behind that is may not be completely clear, but things were taken far enough that even Tucker Carlson threw shade at the formerly top rated cable station’s management last night (see Civil War: Tucker Carlson Hits His Own Network In Epic Post-Election Monologue).

Yesterday's ratings are in for Neil Cavuto on Fox News and they are a disaster. Cavuto lost 40% of his viewers yesterday compared to last Monday. This is a loss of 1.1 million viewers for Cavuto and Fox. Ratings details at the links.

Last night's ratings are in for Fox News and they are a disaster. Tucker, Sean and Laura lost around 1/3 of their viewers last night compared to last Monday. Tucker lost 29% of his audience which is a loss of 1.8 million viewers. Sean lost 33% of his audience which is a loss of 2.0 million viewers. Laura lost 36% of her audience which a loss of 1.8 million viewers. The best news is that Fox will need to lay off 1/3 of their staff to pay for the advertising revenue shortfall. Tick Tock. Ratings details at the links.

At approximately 3:30PM today on Fox News, Matt Schlapp and Juan Williams were having a Pow Wow over the election. And Juan just couldn't wait to tell the world that according to him, there was no voter fraud, no evidence of any voter fraud in the 2020 election. What the hell! Voter fraud in at least 5 or 6 states has been the top story in the media since last Wednesday! Well at least Matt told Juan off! Pretty much called him a blatant liar!

The conservative backlash against Fox News is about to change up a level after it was revealed the wife of the owner of the right-leaning station celebrated Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden's projected "win. "Fox News called Arizona for Biden with only 73% of votes reported.

I was watching Fox News White House Correspondent John Roberts talking about current events, but when he started to talk about the voter fraud findings, the screen went totally black with no sound for about 5 seconds and when it came back on...someone else was talking!!

CNN and MSNBC cleaned Fox's clock on Saturday. It's ugly and embarrassing for Fox. Ratings details at the link.

The last day of Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign began just after 7 a.m., as polls opened on the East Coast, with a call to “Fox & Friends,” the television morning show that had turned the reality star into a U.S. president. He got his usual hero’s welcome. But it was no longer enough. “This has been a very special show for me,” he told the hosts of this broadcasting safe haven where he had workshopped his birther message, shared gossip and conspiracy theories, and repeatedly set the tone for his entire administration’s day. “We’ve had a great relationship, and...

Unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue showing you this,” Neil Cavuto says. Fox News’ Neil Cavuto cut away from White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s briefing Monday in which she accused the Democratic party of “welcoming fraud” and “welcoming illegal voting,” saying he could not continue showing her statements “in good countenance.” -snip- “Whoa, whoa whoa. I just think we have to be very clear,” he said. “She’s charging the other side is welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting. Unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in...

The Fox News Channel’s Bret Baier has deleted a tweet that proved the backlash against the disgraced cable news network has exploded.On Saturday, yours truly wrote about how the backlash against Fox News hit Defcon 1. To backfill my case, I specifically focused on the withering responses to an innocuous tweet posted by Fox’s Special Report anchor Bret Baier…“Join me + @marthamaccallum tonight 8pmET on @FoxNews”:That’s it. That was all Baier tweeted. Nothing controversial. Nothing about the election. He didn’t try to defend his disgraced network’s indefensible decision to call Arizona early, a state that a week later is still too close to call.All Baier did, as I pointed...

[Note: this piece contains heavy video content.] Yesterday, leftist Fox host Neil Cavuto cut away from White House spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany about 30 seconds into her opening statement. The reason why Cavuto cut away? Because she truthfully said that Biden/Harris and their fellow Democrats of “welcoming fraud” and “welcoming illegal voting”. Given that each and every instance of blatant voter fraud we have witnessed over the past 8 days was suborned or outright created by Democrat operatives, McEnany’s statement is manifestly true. Frankly, that statement has been true of every election held in this country since the Democrat Party was...

Fox News' Tucker Carlson has conceded that allegations of fraud which he suggested can be confirmed might not alter the election outcome—though insisted that is not the sole reason to pursue them.

Fox News anchor Sandra Smith was caught reacting incredulously to a guest casting doubt over the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s election win over the weekend, frowning and rolling her eyes while she was off-air. In a leaked clip circulating online, the host of America’s Newsroom was heard exasperatedly asking ‘what is happening’ as DC-based lawyer Cleta Mitchell repeated Donald Trump’s unfounded accusations of widespread election fraud. ‘I think everybody wants to know that this was done properly and legally and we can trust the results,’ Mitchell, who was being interviewed by Fox News’ Trace Gallagher, said. ‘And I think we...

MCENANY: “We want every legal vote to be counted, and we want every illegal vote — “ CAVUTO: “Whoa, whoa, I just think we have to be very clear, she’s charging the other side as welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting. Unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue showing you this."

Make no mistake about it: Fox News is the network of Paul Ryan. For over a year now Ryan has been gloating that he was going to use his position on Fox’s board to ‘do something’ about Trump. This wasn’t a secret to anyone who has been paying attention to Fox over the course of the past year. Day by day Fox News slowly became CNN lite and the lone network of dissent in a sea of leftist propaganda succumbed to the will of our corporate oligarchy. Tucker Carlson is the people’s champion at Paul Ryan’s news network, but time...

Fox News’ Sandra Smith was caught on a hot mic expressing disbelief that a guest on “America’s Newsroom” was casting doubt on the network’s projection of a Joe Biden victory – and that the show’s host, Trace Gallagher, wasn’t pushing back. In a clip that appears to come from a leaked raw feed of a Saturday airing of “America’s Newsroom,” according to Mediaite, Smith can be seen furrowing her eyebrows and making a face when the guest, conservative attorney Cleta Mitchell, says, “Just because CNN says or even Fox News says that someone is president, doesn’t make them president.” “What?...
